Baskeblog Picks Against the Spread



49ers5-2 @ Jaguars0-7 +15.5 The 49ers travel to the east coast for an early game, typically this is a difficult thing to do for west coast teams. I am not going to pick the Jags to win, however I am picking them to cover the spread at home. MJD has a decent day and the Jacksonville defense slows down Kaepernick enough to stay with in reach of their dignity.
Jags +15.5 

Cowboys4-3 @ Lions4-3 -3 The Cowboys offense is always capable of going off for 30 or 40 points, but so is Detroit's. Detroit has a stout D line and good defensive backs, meanwhile D Ware is out for Dallas; their best defensive player(DE). I expect Tony to have a good day though and cover the points on the road.
Cowboys +3

Giants1-6 @ Eagles3-4 -5 Looks like Mike Vick is coming back and I don't think the Giants O line got much better this week. I'm not spending much time here.
Eagles -5

Browns3-4 @ Chiefs7-0 -7.5 This game is a mystery to me, I don't think either team is great at QB, Alex smith being a better option though than whatever Cleveland puts out there. I don't want to count the Browns out because of how they have competed in previous weeks but having just witnessed this environment I don't think they can possibly win this game. Kansas City would have to lose the turn over battle big time.
Chiefs -7.5

Bills3-4 @ Saints5-1 -11.5 Drew Brees and Sean Peyton are at home, against the Bills.
Saints -11.5

Dolphins3-3 @ Patriots5-2 -6.5 The Pats have been struggling this year to put up the type of points and performances we are used to out of Tom Brady and the Hoodie. On the flip side the Dolphins led by 2 Aggies at the helm(Tannehill and Sherman) seem to be making a step forward. I think the Pats win by a field goal.
Dolphins +6.5

Jets4-3 @ Bengals5-2 -6 Geno Smith is due for his normal "off week" against the Cincy defense. The Jets are not bad this season but I don't think they get this one. Matter of fact I think it gets ugly.
Bengals -6

Steelers2-4 @ Raiders2-4 +2.5 Pittsburg has yet to play an impressive game, some players have had good games bu they haven't put it all together. Oakland has some life this season with young Terrelle Pryor and a few other scattered offensive weapons. The Steelers haven't played super and they don't start this weekend.
Raiders +2.5

Washington2-4 @ Broncos6-1 -11.5 RG3 is getting comfortable with his knee and it is showing. Washington had a great offensive game last week and will have one this week too. Unfortunately they are playing in Denver against Peyton Manning.
Broncos -11.5

Falcons2-4 @ Cardinals3-4 -2 I am slightly surprised to see Arizona favored, they have not played well much at all this season. Atlanta has played well on offense but hasn't been able to get the W's. Atlanta is a better team and I expect them to take care of budness...
Falcons +2 

Packers4-2 @ Vikings1-5 +9 Adrian Peterson better get the ball 30 freaking times or I'm going to flip out. He will take this into his hands, he may even win it for them. "Vike Me"
Vikings +9

Seahawks6-1 @ Rams3-4 +12 I have been impressed with Seattle's ability to win this year but not overly impressed with the offense. This is a weird game for me. I like Zach Stacey running for St. Louis, but that is all that they have so whoever is throwing for them is in trouble. Assuming the Seahawk's D shows up big I don't see how the Rams get points outside of defensive TD's.
Seahawks-12
